Minister for Tourism, Arts and Culture of Ghana, Catherine Ablema Afeku has unveiled willingness of Government to develop an “Iconic Tower” to point out that “Ghana is the centre of the World”.
The proposed tower will be built in Tema under the initiative of Tourism Ministry in partnership with the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority, the Tema Golf Club and the Tema Community One Presbyterian Church.
To quote the Minister while she was speaking at a press briefing on Monday, “Ghana is the centre of the world. It is not what we say: it was determined by the authorities and powers of this world, at a meeting which took place almost a century before Ghana became a nation.”
According to Catherine, the Golf Club and the Tema Community One Presbyterian Church are located on the accurate location marked as the “centre of the world”, therefore, “We are going to take advantage of that and construct a National Iconic Tower there to attract tourists”.
She noted that once the tower is finished, it would attract greater number of tourists into the country.
“Already, people are finding their way to the Presbyterian Church at Tema to pray at the centre of the world and very soon with good marketing and advertising people could be attracted to have their weddings, set up businesses and advertise that their goods were manufactured at the centre of the world,” she stressed.
